"This European boutique hotel has multilingual staff and an international vibe – you hear French and Spanish as often as English in its halls." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This hotel is decorated with imported fabrics, Oriental rugs, and original art. It is now pet friendly too. The restaurant is bistro-style."
Michelin Guide "Restored to reflect its original 1929 character, Hotel Lombardy is located just four blocks from the White House in the center of Washington's business district."
Star Service "Guests keen on nostalgia, including personalized service, will do best here." Full review
Gayot "The staff is dedicated to making every aspect of your stay comfortable, while the impressive carved-ceiling lobby harkens back to the building's 1929 origins."
BlackBook "Another notch in the Washington-wants-to-be-Europe belt. Style flirts between Hapsburg haughty and Italian naughty."
